how does the base running work
32759
Depending on where your ball lands (single, double, etc.), you move the plastic runners accordingly (by hand). So that's a very mechanical aspect of the game; the fun part is in trying to get hits. We were introduced to this by our cousins, and we all love this game. My son has become particularly adept at pitch control, mixing up his pitches, and working the count.

no there is no base, it is supported by the plumbing. Mine is around an inch off the ground and I have installed a cut off on either side to kill the flow when i refill it. if it is a short distance it will not effect the unit however one could place it on the ground or on a brick or stone for support.

I wish I could 100% confidently answer this, but I bought as a gift for my family as a security purchase in the chance the base I bought them needed some modification. They ultimately did not end up using this as it wasn't quite compatible with the base I also bought for them. If you'd like I can reach out and see if they could give it a look.

I bought mine on here and it did come with the base. I also bought the stroller and you do not need the base for the stroller. I absolutely love both! The stroller is bulky but I use it to jog, hike, or just go to the mall. I don't get stuck in stones and its a smooth and almost weightless push.

Depends, are they manufacturing marks? They mass produce these, probably hundreds to thousands per run and toss them into a bin. Then that bin must travel through its other steps and probably scratched against each other. Mine look to be marks from manufacturing process. My bases do have marks from the motor being inserted, but I really doubt mine is used. It's quality control doing their job and test fitting them to make sure the customer doesn't find out the hard way that it was manufactured out of tolerance, hence motor not fitting inside the base.

The company is not sure. They say double or triple A. The run time depends on the person's weight and amount of strain they place on the moving parts.

I'm not sure what a base driveway is but it does run on my concrete driveway and in the yard - hope this helps.

I am not versed enough on that aspect of the game to provide an answer. In real terms, once a pitcher puts his foot on the pitching rubber, he either has to throw the ball to the catcher in an uninterrupted manner, or, if there are runners on base, has to step off the rubber in order to throw the ball to any base. He cannot "deceive the baserunner". No quick pitches to the plate, has to stop in the set position for 1 sec before throwing the ball to the catcher when there are runners. A balk is usually called when there are baserunners. When the bases are empty, I believe a ball is called when a pitcher violates these rules. I suggest you google "balk rule in baseball" for a much more accurate description. I am not versed enough on that aspect of the game to provide an answer.

It should simply lift off the base when you pull. At least that is how the one that I have works.

I bought this for my son and he uses it on a regular bases. He has had no complaints about the fit that I am aware of.

1st-did you mate it to the base? 2nd- when do you gat these messages - if you are close to the base, does it work and then gradually get weaker as you back away?

You have to manually slide the arms around the base. It may be a little stiff, but three of the arms should move.

No. I'm already having problem. It started making noise when I increase speed the second week I got it. So I can't use it as I wanted on a daily base.

The base is divided into sections that are meant to hold bricks (Bricks are where the weight comes from). Once the bricks are placed into the sections then you spread sand over the brick that will fill any empty areas between bricks etc. (Bricks will vary in size, see directions)

Yeah it has base. More so when u place them in correctly. They have a L and R one. So they r specific. Then turn them up full volume and they're amazing

You can run it independently, although I feel it will not last long that way. If you really want to know try it out.

Hi Brian,Do you mean when you take the hand held off the base? Well, we've never taken it off the base to test it out, unfortunately. I'm sorry I can't help you more. But, it just sits in the base all the time. We really like it, though! I recommend it.
